Jose Mourinho hints he'll punish Marine with senior players for receiving Liverpool help

Jose Mourinho has responded to Liverpool and Everton helping eight-tier Marine with video clips ahead of FA Cup clash

Tottenham travel to Rossett Park on Sunday in the third round proper of the FA Cup - in a match that represents the biggest gulf between two teams to ever face off in the historic tournament.

In an exclusive chat with the ECHO, Marine boss Neil Young revealed the Reds' support for his side in preparation for the Sunday evening showdown.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has responded to Young's claim,  believing it's normal for all three clubs in Merseyside to form an ally.

Mourinho furthermore prompted fear as he tells the England eight-tier to expect defeat from a respectable Tottenham squad studded with stars.

"Liverpool helping Marine I think is normal," Mourinho said.

"You know they are neighbours and I'm pretty sure there is an emotional connection between them. If they gave them analysis from us and access to footage they wouldn't have, I feel it absolutely normal.

"It's a club and a group of boys playing the game of their careers - so what can we do apart from respect them and win the match? Nothing.

"I always believe that to show respect to these teams is to beat them, to show respect to them is to play with a good team and with a team that takes responsibility, has motivation and goes there to win the game.

"That is to show respect and that is the cup mentality of the big teams.

"If we go there and lose, it would be amazing for them but I think it would be a lack of respect from us to them.

"We are preparing for the game normally, we train today looking at that game and we had a tactical meeting looking at that game, we are going there to win the match."
